Chapter 2: Now what?
For the rest of the night Dan was unable to rest as now he had some answers, Roa was a place, a world of some sort. The words Reabun and Dorien seemed to refer to the type of people living there while, Serlin was some type of organization. He wasn't totally sure on what a Serlin was, but he felt relieved to have at least an inkling. Although since the dream, Dan wasn't hearing the voices anymore.
Despite this he was still excited enough that morning to surprise his mother at breakfast with the news, as well as his renewed energy.
"Mom! I've got some great news! I think I'm finally starting to understand what the voices mean!" Dan stated happily as he took his seat at the table.
Miyoko looked at her son with hidden worry, but happiness nonetheless that he looked better today than the previous weeks.
"Oh? That's great Daniel, so what do they mean?" she asked smiling slightly.
"Well," Dan began as he put some eggs and bacon on his plate, "I'm not entirely sure, but I think it has to do with this world called Roa."
"Roa? Isn't that one of those words you always hear?" She wondered as she put some pancakes on her own plate.
"Yeah, well, last night I had this dream and the four words I always hear came up." Dan explained.
"Really? Tell me all about it." She demanded as she sat herself down.
Dan took a deep breath as Drago floated in and took a seat on the table to listen in on Dan's explanation of his dream. He described the Victorian people with their wings and tails and about the five people he got to overhear and the subject of their conversation.
"Did the girls in your dream wear cloaks similar to the boys?" Miyoko asked him as he paused to chew on his eggs, "How were you able to see the boys' wings if they were wearing cloaks?"
"Well, there were these slits in their cloaks, I think, for their wings. I also think that the actual men that wore coats had holes for them as well. The girls just had open back dress I'm guess that's why they didn't have cloaks." Dan speculated.
"So then, have you been hearing voices since your dream?" His mother inquired praying inwardly for good news.
Dan shook his head and smiled a little, "No, I've heard zilch from them since it and maybe I'll just have normal dreams from now on."
Miyoko let a smile shine off of her for a moment before her curiosity returned.
"Why do their names sound so strange and what were they again?" She verbally wondered.
Dan paused as he was finishing off a piece of toast before he replied to his mother, "Ummmm, there was I believe a Samora, Druvious, Gevia, Samillis, and another guy named Ramere, but I don't really know why they are named like that."
"Probably because it's supposed to be a different world, but how are we supposed to know if it's real?" Drago piped in.
"It felt so real though," Dan admitted, "I mean it felt like I was actually there, besides, before all this stuff started happening I had dreams and premonitions that turned out to be real, so why not these ones of late?"
"True." Miyoko and Drago said in unison.
Dan finished his plate and picked it up to take it to the sink as he said, "Well, I'm going to call up Shun and Marucho to see if they have any ideas or clues after I tell them about it too."
He found his cell phone when he had left it the previous day, which was on the kitchen counter, and quickly dialed, up his two best friends.
Shun was first and after picking up he smoothly said, "What's up, Dan?"
"Whoa, dude! How'd ya know it was me?" Dan asked surprised a little even though he shouldn't of been.
"I just know these things," Shun stated coolly, "plus I have caller identification."
"Oh, well dude you need to come over to my place pronto, I got some news to share with you." Dan informed his ninja friend.
"Hm? Why? What's going on?" Shun inquired warily.
"Just get over here, okay." Dan demanded.
Shun let out a harsh sigh and replied, "Fine, I'll be there as soon as I can be."
"Good." Dan said before hanging up and then dialed up Marucho, "Hey, Marucho! It's Dan. I need you to come over ASAP!"
Marucho was alarmed as he quickly replied, "What?! Why?! Did something happen?"
"Kind of," Dan said in a sheepish chuckle, "though I want to tell you in person so you better motor over here."
"Okay," Marucho answered jollily, "I'll be there soon."
"Thanks buddy." Dan said before he hung up and returned to the dining room where his mother and Drago were.
Miyoko was giving him a smile so he returned it before he tucked his cellphone into his pants' pocket.
"I really hope with all this new information that we can figure at least something out." Dan said to them.
"We'll figure it out sweetie." Miyoko assured, "Ever since you've had that dream, you seem to be your more usual self. I'm at least glad for that."
"Yeah, I do too. I feel more confident because I finally have some answers and the voices are giving me a break it seems." Dan said happily.
Twenty minutes later the Shun and Marucho arrived and accompanied Dan to the living room where his mother was sitting with Drago on the coffee table. They had been previously conversing until Dan's brawling friends arrived. As soon as the two friends were seated Dan explained all that had transpired in his dreams and his newly learned information on what the words may have meant. Every so often in his explanation he would pause as Marucho and Shun would ask questions for clarification.
"So let me get this straight, you had a dream about this world, which you suspect it's called Roa, where the people have wings and tails as well as clothing that gives suspect that they're from the Victorian Era?" Shun asked raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Yeah, I know it sounds pretty nuts, but considering that we've been to other dimensions and met aliens, it doesn't seemed too farfetched compared to our experiences right?" Dan stated questioningly.
"That's true, but we've never met a race such as the ones you have described. Their names are also much stranger than what we've encountered." Marucho added in his thoughts.
"Every alien is different after all. I'll admit the names are pretty farfetched, but just because their different from our other encounters doesn't make them any less believable." Dan defended in an irritated tone.
"That's just it Dan," Shun piped in as he crossed his arms over his chest, "you've only seen these people through a dream so you're the only one who's seen them, we haven't. That is why they seem less real."
Dan frowned as he restated, "Weren't the Vestals, Neathians, and Gundalians real? Aliens were in my previous premonitions before every adventure we've had. So how does this these people any less real than the others?"
"Okay," Marucho chimed in a defeated tone, "so maybe they do exist. However ever since you've had this dream the voices have ceased and I guess all I can ask is now what? Where do we go from here? We don't have a clue if these people are going to cause some sort of war or less notable mischief. Or maybe they could be just rich people simply gossiping, I don't know, I don't have any sufficient answers for this with so little information and these people just sound like typical rich people that get their thrills from gossip."
Dan was growing more irritated and it showed as he spoke again, "I don't know, okay? I just know that something is going to happen, but I just don't know if it's anything like a war or simple trouble. Maybe you're right, maybe they're just rich gossipers, I don't really know, but I'm going to find out what's going on because if I'm having these visions and dreams then a situation is going to come up where I'm heavily involved and I just wanted to be prepared if so. Or I could just be going bonkers and need to be sent to the funny farm because I can't get this all to stop."
They were all silent in the long pause that came after Dan's rant. They all were processing the information and trying to decide on what exactly to do since Dan was mostly in the right. Only Shun spoke after the long pause between the friends.
"Alright," The stern ninja said, "We'll help you get to the bottom of your dreams and the voices."
Dan smiled at his friend and nodded as he was glad to have won over their help. He knew he would need it as previously he always counted on them to help him out on his little adventures. Even though Drago was his constant partner, it didn't hurt to have a little human help.
